Matthew Bendall In Seoul Until December

LONDON – Oct 16, 2013: Matthew Bendall, Senior Press Officer at
Kia Motors (UK) Limited will be “offline” for the next six
weeks as he takes part in Kia’s Global Exchange Programme by working
at the company’s Seoul head office until the start of December.

Every autumn a selection of Kia personnel from around the world travel
to Seoul to experience the company’s head office operations and to
contribute to Kia’s global affairs as well as picking up valuable
exposure to the corporate culture and understanding of the company’s
activities.

Matthew Bendall, Senior Press Officer said: “You’d perhaps
expect me to say the clichéd ‘I am looking forward to the
opportunity’ – but I truly am! I’ll be working in the
Global Overseas Communications Team whilst in Seoul and I look forward to
being able to offer the UK media an even better insight into Kia’s
operations when I return at the start of December.”

Stephen Kitson, Director of Corporate Communications said: “This
is a great opportunity for Matt and also for both sides of the Kia PR
family – an effective exchange of practices, understandings and
processes will undoubtedly enhance our UK operation and can only help our
colleagues in Seoul to better understand media pressures around the
world.”

Matthew will return to the UK Press Office on Tuesday 3 December. He
will have occasional access to his usual email account whilst abroad but
for all routine or urgent enquiries please contact one of the team on the
details below.
